Rest in Peace, Travis. I didn't know you very well, nor did we get together often, but you made an impression on me none the less. I can't imagine the gap that is left since your passing, and the pain it comes with. You were and are loved by many.

Ken, Pat and family. I came across this and am deeply saddened by your loss. No words of comfort can I offer other than you will meet again in heaven. The years have gone so quickly by since we were so young and in CCS. Wonderful to see that you now have an amazing family. May God gently hold you all in his arms and provide you comfort.

RIP Travis. Forever in our hearts.

I cannot find the words to describe the amazing man that Travis was. All I can say is that I am truly blessed to have known him for so many years. His silly giggle, spontaneity, and passion for knowledge are the things that I will always remember him by, but what I will remember the most is his relentless love for his family and friends. It is not often that you meet someone with as big of a heart as Travis'.

To Travis' family: my thoughts and prayers are with you always. I pray that you find strength in God and peace in the support and love of your friends and family. May Travis never be far from our hearts.

Travis. You were such a remarkable individual. The wisdom, insight and companionship you provided to me was never taken for granted and will never be forgotten. Thank you - for all your heartfelt advice, late night talks, your sincere interest in the well being of others, and the unique and rare impact that you have blessed my life with. I love and cherish you more than words can say. You are indelible.

Travis was a sharp individual. He was a talented, honest and thoughtful young man and his tennis stroke developed quicker than anyone's I have ever seen before. Whether it was birthday parties, camp fires, riding around in your volkswagen or just hitting the ball back and fourth on the court I will cherish all the memories we have shared over the past 15 years as long as I live. I send my deepest condolences as you will be missed deeply. I love you Travis. Rest in Peace.

You were one of my boys. So smart, so articulate, so accepting of all people. You made everyone stronger and less afraid to stretch their wings with your curiosity, creativity, and love of the truth. While our hearts will ache from your physical absence in the days ahead, we know that you are at peace, that you now have the insight that you hungered for, and that whenever the boys play, you will always be watching. Part of that music will always be for you now.

Ken, Pat, and family,
I am thankful for the blessing Travis was to me and my class when I taught Travis in grade 8. I loved his curiosity, inquisitive, intelligent, cheerful,and sensitive nature. I will remember Travis, and I will also pray for you and your family as you continue to grieve his passing. God be near to you and grant you His strength and peace. And again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear family,

Travis was part of my life for only one year at CCS, but he made me feel welcome and cared for in as the "new kid" in a way no one else did. Your son and brother was a wonderful young man, even at 12 years old. Thank you.

I remember Travis as the sweet, blondish haired boy, who always had his guitar from my grade 8 home room. It was so neat to see him again a just a year ago as a guest of Kevin's at our church. He will be missed and I pray for all of you (Grasmeyers and friends) that God would be your sufficiency in all of this, and that He would hold you all as you need.
